On April 14, Ryan, 48, celebrated his last Live show.
Kelly gave a speech that had both of them crying one minute and laughing the next.
She told him that they had the right to troll him on all social media platforms and that he was allowed to come back and visit anytime.
The host ended her speech with a slight dig to his love life.
“And we will all keep our same mailing addresses in case there’s ever a wedding invitation,” she said.
Kelly looked out to the audience, then looked at Ryan with hopeful eyes.
He just chuckled and she added: “Just in case.”
The 52-year-old then ended her speech by saying that Ryan will always be family and that she will “see him soon.”

“I’ve been grateful to be able to share a cup of coffee with our viewers everyday, one of the best parts of the gig.”
He went on: “I’m looking forward to coming back to guest host in the future and Kelly, I promise to forever share my food photos, chicken eggs, and olive oil with you.
